Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

I'm incredibly proud to have played a part in bringing both of these books to fruition. A devotional to the imperfect mother & disabled poems that force eyes on the real. Phelps & Wood give us empathy in action—the true work of kith.

In the 1970s, the Canadian Gay Archives was approached by the Ontario Archives to take over some of the CGA's material. It was a moment of deep reflection. In the end, they chose to reject the offer out of fear that a homophobic government would decide to eliminate it, a la Nazi Germany.

I’m going through all the lit mag submissions on #TransJoy rn and they’re so beautiful 🥲 I honestly wish I could always pay contributors to ATJ. #Goals! In the meantime, I’m happy we get to share more trans creators on a platform that doesn’t usually center us, and compensate folks, too.

it should be mentioned that the 2014 status quo for trans people still meant that we had suicide risks, unemployment numbers, life expectancy, poverty risk that were way worse than the average person, and somehow asking for this is seen as frivolous luxury and purity testing

i want to talk about experiencing a breast cancer scare as a nonbinary person. my relationship to my breasts is pretty similar to that of many genderqueers — they're a built-in accessory that sometimes ruins my outfit, self-esteem, and self-perception. they're a body part that i take care of.

LET'S GO!!!!! kith crit: cohort two is open for applications! DON'T SELF REJECT kithbooks.com/cohorttwo
kith crit: cohort two
a grassroots critique workshop for the trans, Crip, queer, and sick

What: a FREE, eight week, needs informed critique workshop beginning at the end of September 2026. In these sessions writers will come together across genres to challenge each other; connect with other trans, Crip, queer, and sick creatives; and develop the skills necessary to support themselves and others through the process of critique. 

Who: kith crit is open to trans, Crip, queer, and sick writers of all genres. cohort two will comprise two distinct critique spaces: one general audience; and one transfeminine led, and exclusive. While anyone is welcome to apply, we’re particularly interested in those who have been systemically or functionally excluded from traditional lit ed opportunities.   Applications will serve as assertions of eligibility. 

How: Send a brief statement outlining the reasons for your interest and a writing sample to wim@kithbooks.com by August 31th. 

Accessibility: If you have access or safety needs and want to know if we can meet them, please get in touch. kith’s standing policy is to meet everyone, to the best of our ability, however they come.
